ashley: let me go back to doug. the fed is in a holding pattern if nothing else until it sees substantial improvement in the labor market. when do you think that will be? i'm sure they will tout, we've gotten down to 7.8%. but you think it will take more than that. how long could they wait until they see that turnaround? when will that turnaround come? >> well the fed was pretty clear, even if they see a turnaround they're going to continue the program which is a concern to me, is, they, they are the market now and in mortgage backs, and i think that doesn't bode well for price discovery. price discovery is gone. they're using quantity. they're using quantitative easing. i think that is a problem going forward but they will keep going and i think it is working. housing, the numbers today were great. unemployment is starting to come down especially if you look at initial unemployment claims which we think are a better barometer of real employment. so it's working but they said they're not getting out for a long time.
